What's the expense of traveling from Luton to Plymouth by car?

The trip fueled by petrol comes to £40.5. This calculation is based on a petrol price of 144 pence per liter and the car's consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon.

For those interested in carpooling, the cost per passenger decreases with more occupants. With two passengers, each person's share is £20.25 (£40.5/2). For three passengers, the cost per person reduces to £13.5 (£40.5/3), and with four passengers, it further decreases to £10.13 (£40.5/4).

To delve deeper into the calculation, let's examine how we arrive at the result:

Firstly, we determine the fuel required by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate. For a journey of 232.08 miles, this calculation involves multiplying 232.08 miles by 4.54609 (liters per gallon) and dividing by the car's consumption of 37.5 mpg, resulting in 28.1 liters of fuel needed.

Next, we calculate the fuel cost by multiplying the fuel needed by the price per liter. With 28.1 liters of fuel at 144 pence per liter, the total cost comes to £40.5.

In summary, the fuel cost for the trip from Luton to Plymouth amounts to £40.5.

 

Things that affect car fuel consumption:

Fuel consumption increases with aggressive driving habits including speeding, accelerating, and braking.

Vehicle Maintenance: Oil changes, tyre rotations and engine tune-ups maximise fuel economy. Neglecting maintenance reduces fuel efficiency and increases consumption.

Poor tyre inflation increases rolling resistance and fuel consumption. Proper tyre pressure improves fuel economy.

Air conditioning use increases engine load and fuel consumption, especially in stop-and-go traffic or city travel. AC usage can be reduced to save fuel.
